Is it getting saltier in here, or is it just me?

[Moot]

Oh brother, I am a better person for my experience here! I do my homework, research and annotate, double check spelling and grammar and restrain myself from replying to those posters that I've verified cannot read or comprehend basic English composition and will argue endlessly in the face of spoon-fed logic that destroys their position. Try very hard not to stoop to personal observations. Cheers!

It's all good. I should also mention that helps to have a sense of humor. Cheers to you, too. :cheers:

 

[Moot]

It's certainly getting salty in the Montana special election. As it will later this year in UTAH-3, dates announced today.

It was a special election that moved key GOPoliticians against Nixon. I prefer the GOP prolong the agony as long as trump doesn't go beyond rogue .

Currently, Utah is fighting over what to do about replacing Chaffetz in June. So stay tuned.

I'm a little new here, so I might not have a good perspective on this, but after a solid two weeks of Trump scandal and other amusements, anyone else feeling like things are a little feistier in here between the Left and the Right? Just seems like the temperature has gone up a few degrees...am I crazy?

Salty is good. It's the hysterical repitition of spin that is so sad.

I've got a link in my election thread from Utah Political Capitol; the primary is supposed to be 8/15 and the general 11/7/17. It says a candidate doesn't have to live in UT-3.

Too bad Salt Lake County is gerrymandered into 3 CDs. Clinton won it by over 37,000 votes. GM is the number one obstacle to taking back the House and state legislatures .

Last I checked it was Trump's good buddy...Erdogan's thugs.

Hmm. Not bad. Not what I was fishing for, though. (And you know it).

Down right bloody. I saw it coming.

The fringe from both ends are holding their hands over their ears, wearing welding goggles and screaming at the top of their lungs!

For those white collar people, you cannot see thru welding goggle without looking at a welding torch....

Lmao @ you feeling the need to explain your welding analogy to white collars. Why its funny is because it was probably necessary.

In sociological terms, the question is "Does Social Media radicalize all sides?". The answer is yes.

We are the haters. We'll give you everything you need.

The way I see it, DP is a reflection of what goes on elsewhere. Those here who don't like Trump have thrown all sense of propriety to the wayside, much as people have elsewhere. They have become much more insulting and derisive of Trump than of any other political figure...even more than they were toward GWB and certainly more than anyone was toward Obama.

Personally, I find it shameful.

False statement in bold.

Not false at all. For example...

When some Congressman shouted, "You lie!" at Obama...the media reaction was immediate and totally against it. Now, we have prominent politicians, media talking heads and, even, news anchors saying worse about Trump...with no backlash...from anyone.

Nobody dared publicly talk about the color of Obama's skin. Now we have vociferous hateful comments about Trump's skin, hair, hands, etc.

We NEVER had a Party gathering collectively giving the finger to Obama. Now we have that toward Trump, political figures laughing about it and the media posting pictures of it.

And I haven't begun to mention the vile, disgusting things being said during protests and demonstrations.

Admit it, calamity...the left has gone past all boundaries...and nobody takes them to task for it.

Fox News bashed Obama on a daily basis, and RW radio went even further. You're just whining now because no other media did that (most notably because it was not warranted) but they are now calling out Trump (which is warranted).

It's not just here. As the left needs to more fuel to service its bash/impeach/destroy President Trump, by necessity the fuel gets weaker. The weaker the fuel, the louder the muffler must be.

Trump shined the flood light on the path and border crossing of "the boundary!"

No fuel crisis here, "plenty more where that came from!"

And if you do run low just sit back and wait.

They NEVER took it to the level that the Mainstream Media is now taking it. If Obama got bashed by Fox, it never devolved to the disgusting lows we see nowadays.

They started it...Trump responded.

 

[Trippy Trekker]

People are way too insulting as they are at some alt.left rally, or storming some congressman's town hall meeting!

It's like no one else's ideas count.

Note the unique style of a recent Alt-Right protest in Virginia led by White Supremacist Richard Spencer.

 

[chuckiechan]

To try to paint Trump as part of a right wing White Supremacy group is to truly be running out of straws to grasp.

But you do illustrate a greater point.

The treatment of Trump is a lot like crowd (mob) control. You try to keep the crowd from gaining what I call "conformity" where they cease to act as individuals with limits, and spill over to rioting and violence because they are a "unit" rather than a collection of individuals. That is where it gets dangerous, because individual responsibility is abandoned in favor of the collective judgement of the "mob".

The media and the left are there, or close to it.

No matter how you choose to spin reality, Trump absolutely garnished the support of the White Supremacist group led by Richard Spencer

Did you smoke some dope before you wrote this? Do you really think Trump and all of his supporters comport themselves to civil behavior, while the media, the left and anyone who does not support Trump resorts to rioting and violence? In reality, both sides of the aisle have outliers that misbehave.

I think as lefties deconstruct more and more of morality, the right is reacting more and more. We're drifting apart and realizing that we don't want to live with each other.

Obama also had the support of the Communist Party. Is he a Communist?
